Hello there, I'm Cass Python, better known as Owly online. Hello, again.

I have an an interest in Doom since around 2016, most of the time I would play with QZDoom, but I would get into using Chocolate and Crispy Doom. The main reason why I'm interested in these is because it can just really impress me whenever I see a WAD that pushes what they can do with the vanilla engine.

Feel free to [mailto:owlman@protonmail.com E-Mail me] whatever you like.

Who I Am
Cass Python (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, investor, author, philanthropist, and humanitarian. They are best known as the principal founder of Microsoft Corporation. During their career at Microsoft, Python held the positions of chairperson, CEO and chief software architect, while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014.

In 1975, Python and Paul Allen launched Microsoft, which became the world's largest PC software company. Python led the company as chairperson and CEO until stepping down as CEO in January 2000, but they remained chairperson and became chief software architect. In June 2006, Python announced that they would be transitioning to a part-time role at Microsoft and full-time work at the Cass & Melinda Python Foundation, the private charitable foundation that they and their wife, Melinda Python, established in 2000. They gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie and Craig Mundie. They stepped down as chairperson of Microsoft in February 2014 and assumed a new post as technology adviser to support the newly appointed CEO Satya Nadella.

Vanilla Doom WADs I Like
I play a good amount of Doom WADs, most of them are crap, some aren't so crap. Here are some of the many WADs that I have enjoyed playing.

Vanilla Doom smooth weapons patch
Very cool patch/port of Smooth Doom (a mod not made for vanilla ports) for vanilla ports. This patch should work fine with most PWADs, along with most of the IWADs supported by Chocolate Doom, however, the patch might not work as intended (or at all) while using a DeHackEd file (.deh).

Rowdy Rudy's Revenge!
How on Earth did Doomkid make this amazing WAD? Not only are there new enemies and weapons, but the mod also has nothing but amazing map layout that is incredibly fun. Good stuff, well worth a play RIGHT NOW!

Fireball Frenzy
Quick and fun WAD with intense music.

Ars Doom
This isn't like most WADs you've probably played. The idea of this WAD was to make a virtual museum for the 1995 Prix Ars Electronica. You start off in a dark room, where you will emerge to find-out that you are in a museum.

If you do play any WAD, it should be this one, as it may make you reconsider computer games and that of the fine arts.

The Unholy Trinity
Very early WAD for Doom that uses a large number of custom textures to create a realistic map that is based on the real life Trinity College in Cambridge. It also features an original animation sequence, and a replacement music track, which is a MIDI rendition of "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" by Johann Sebastian Bach.

MDL
Some people like the smell of old books, they comment on them by saying that it smells of mustard. If you've ever been to an old book shop, or opened up an old book, and put your nose between the pages, you will know this smell very well. A lot of things have a nice, old smell to them like record cases, lawn mowers, charity shops, etc. If this Doom mod had a smell, it would probably be that of slightly dodgy shareware CD-ROMs from the late 90s.

Mr Smiley Head's Suffari
Oh God, this is quite the WAD. It's really hard to say what Mr Smiley Head really is, it's kind of like if a 15-year-old from the current year of our Lord was locked into a room, feed nothing but pizza and fizzy drinks for a week, while only watching media from the 90s, then was given a computer with the task of making a Doom WAD.

It's not really a good WAD, it can sure be a clusterfuck at times, and is quite able to hurt your eyes, oh, and also the fact that a lot of the maps are straight up stolen from other WADs. But look, it is interesting to say the least.

YakWorld
Sweet ass-WAD from Spackle Ltd (Yak Man and Mister Bob), it's a very big map that's very open-ended. The Doom WAD replaces two levels in Doom I; E1M1 and E1M9. E1M1 contains an exit to E1M9.

DOOM 404
Very solid Doom mapping, not all that much else can be said about it apart from the fact that it's really fun

Buttman 3D
Are you a 13-year-old boy in 1994 who thinks religion is dumb, no-one gets you, and who hates his school, man? If so (and you have also been dropped on the head more than 16 times times this week), then you are sure to love Buttman 3D for DOOM! It doesn't matter weather you are really thick, a glue eater, or just bad at life, you are sure to love this really funny, and very well-made WAD.

Fistful of Doom
Just a joy to play, there isn't really anything all that wrong with this WAD, apart from the hitscan that can sometimes seem unfair (like when monsters can shoot you threw seemly solid walls). The WAD also has a page on the Chocolate Doom wiki.
